Description Audrey Hepburn

4 hours in PS CS2 with a tablet
Reference photo: [link]


After 4 hours, I can hardly see my mistakes anymore, so I figured I'd just post this. Although I'm happy with it so far, my portrait doesn't look enough like the photo to satisfy me... So critiques are more than welcome!

I love Audrey Hepburn. She's got such a unique style.

The eyes, nose and mouth are very well done and volumetric, the ears need more work they still look a bit plain and less realist than the other parts. And i agree the neck looks a bit long. But still is a great painting! keep it up!

I'm personally a big fan of gray scale paintings and you did a lovely one right here.

The only thing I'd have to say is the neck looks a little long, but not by much. But her face is pretty much the exact same as in the picture!! You did a really good job with this and digital black and white looks awesome!! Great picture all together

Personally I like this more than a photo-realistic drawing, how it's really realistic while still you can tell it's a drawing. I love how you made the hair! The back of the neck looks a bit strange, though.. I think it curves too much; it may need to be a bit straighter. Also (little thing, no biggie) you may want to put several other tones in the eyebrow. It seems to be mostly one shade.

I really, really like this, though

Ooh, thanks. And I appreciate the critique! I agree with you on the neck and eyebrow, now that you mention it. Good eye

Great work! It almost looks like a pencil sketch until you take a closer look. Personally, I would add some shiny bits to the eyes to make them stand out more, but still, this is great work!

Ah, thanks so much! Thank you also for the suggestion; it's just that, in the ref, the eyes didn't have very bright highlights.
